title: Imaging of partial right double vena cava with ureter crossing through its split, confirmed at surgery.
abstract: A complex development process occurs during the embryogenesis of the inferior vena cava (IVC), such as the formation of several anastomoses between three paired embryonic veins, which may result in a wide range of congenital abnormalities of the IVC. We report a case, not described before, of partial double right IVC with a circumcaval ureter crossing through the divide in the IVC.
